Introducing the all new, RAD Cycle Products Pro Bicycle Repair Stand. This is the one everyone is talking about, but you can only get it here. The Rad Cycle Products Pro Bicycle Stand holds up to 66 pounds (30kg) effortlessly in its heavy duty "Work Horse" clamps that are engineered not to harm your bike's finish. The "Work Horse" clamps are designed to rotate 360 degrees on two axes, and fits nearly every standard tube frame from 1" to 1.5". Included is a tool tray with a magnetic strip to help keep those nuts and bolts where you can find them when it comes time to put them back on. The feet are even pre-drill just in case you want to mount your RAD Cycle Products Pro Bicycle Stand to the floor or work bench permanently, or semi-permanently.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
possibly salvageable garbage
well... the darn thing looks solid. It sets up fast and it will hold a bike without any fear of tipping/falling. It is easy enough to use without a helper....
Unfortunately it fails in 1 important field. The clamp is attached to the metal arm with a bolt inserted into plastic tabs that squeeze it onto the pole. The clamp on my unit came loose immediately. I tried to tighten the bolt with the included allen wrench (by hand)... The bolt slipped through the plastic tabs with very little pressure, and will no longer fit in the larger sized hole left by the damage. The clamp now slips of the pole freely. Lame.
I noticed, however, with the clamp removed and the arm exposed,that there are predrilled holes in the arm. I believe I can drill through the hard plastic clamp (carefully) and firmly secure it with a bolt going through both the clamp and pole. Of course, this sort of modification should be unnecessary, but I have the idea that this piece of crap would be...

OK buy if your expectations are realistic
READ THIS BEFORE USING.
As others have said here, the weak point in this stand is the clamp connectors that lock the stand in place. The description is misleading in suggesting you can lock this stand in any position, as you can with higher priced stands. The problem is that the plastic connectors just are not up to the task of supporting the weight of an average bike in an UNBALANCED position. You will likely never get them tight enough to support an unbalanced bike without breaking them, however, there is what I believe to be a flaw in the assembly process that might result in a better working stand if you tend to it first.
Here is what you need to look at: BEFORE YOU USE THE STAND, loosen the bolt that holds the main clamp to its tube and remove the clamp. When you do, you will see there is a notch in the end of the aluminum tube, and inside the clamp there is a tab that is supposed to line up with the notch and go into it. I question whether or not this...
Great product
This stand is very sturdy yet it is light enough to be moved around very easily. The two bikes that I own 1 mountain and 1 hybrid fit nicely. You do have to apply extra pressure to the knob when you want the bike to stay at a certain angle. After a few uses it begins to grip better and it requires less pressure each time. It has a lot of height and therefore makes it a breeze to adjust to a height that is easy to work on no matter what part of the bike needs attention. It folds up and can be stored in a corner or can be hung up in the garage when not in use. This is a much better product than I thought it would be. I could not justify paying $150.00 for a stand that I am only going to use a half dozen times a year. This one certainly fits my budget and my needs.
